I'm trying to create an event that allows me to ring all phones once somebody is at the front door.

I can get it to ring, but i just want it to ring 2~3 times. Any idea how i can do that?Is there somewhere an (detailled) explanation of the different options?For example what can i do with the strings?

I'm not sure that that is my problem. :$I've got a normal input switch at my front door (like a light switch). Not a phone system or so.So once this 'security device' is triggered, my phone starts ringing (see above). So far, so good.

But the phone should only ring twice (or so). And it would be nice if i could control the name on the display of the iphones (fe from front-door).

The idea is that the doorbell button rings a group of phones (fe all house, all external...).This way, when the house is in sleep mode, only the phones 'all externall' are ringing.Depends on a status of some things.

Some background: my girlfriend works often nights. So in the day, she's sleeping. And at that moment, the phones in the house should be quite, and the phones in the garage/office/... should be ringing when somebody is at the front door.

In the asterisk, there's a 'PBX hangup'. But i can't figure out how it works (channel id is not the same as the extension)...

For the moment, i'm gathering everything on my own intranet: linuxmce and eibd+events... For me personally, the linuxmce wiki is to much chaos. I can't find an overview in it. But this is another topic...

I'm thinking to create a kind of 'event' scenario's. Situations from the real life... Where people can see what's possible with linuxmce...

Another question is whether we should add workarounds and hacks to the wiki. Even if they are clearly marked as such, it's only a matter of time before someone thinks that it is a recommended or supported way of doing things.
